With a mix of "street" attitude and squeaky-clean boy-band style,
B2K serve up the
soundtrack for their film debut on
You Got Served. Centered around urban dance competitions, the film's
soundtrack features more of the
R&B balladry and
hip-hop dance tracks that served
B2K well on their first two albums. Still reminiscent of
Jodeci and
Craig David,
B2K triumph over their somewhat generic image with songs that mix catchy beats and lyrics with concrete, realistic sentiments. To these ends,
"Sprung" is a savvy love song about falling for an older woman in which
B2K opine "Baby, it's official/I'm tired of lookin' at you on my window/I peep you when you're coming home from work with your high heels on/Louis Vuitton, girl you got it going on." Similarly involving is the dancefloor-ready
"Do That Thing," which finds
Lil' Kim and the boys ripping into a funky
tango beat and proclaiming "Get a drink and your Mova/After that we gonna get to the (Range) Rovuh." Indeed. Add in
Fabolous,
Rufus Blaq,
M.O.P., and other guest artists who make the most of their time, and
You Got Served -- to paraphrase track ten -- certainly "smellz like a party."
